Yacht lost mast off Clacton

An RNLI lifeboat crew spent nearly five hours assisting the solo aboard the 'Magic Moments' on Sep 11, 2025. The yacht had lost its mast and sail. The lifeboat 'RNLI 13-52' from Clacton was tasked with assisting the yacht at 4.56 p.m. With the mast and sail dragging in the sea, 3,5 nautical miles south east of Clacton Pier, the yacht was unable to make way. The solo sailor was in good spirits. Two of the lifeboat crew joined the man, who was in good spirits, to assist with de-rigging the mast and sail. After this was completed, the lifeboat escorted the yacht back to the Harwich lifeboat station, where it was safely moored on the evening. The lifeboat then returned to Clacton RNLI station after nearly five hours at sea. Report with photo: https://uk.news.yahoo.com/lifeboat-crew-rescue-sailor-stranded-140000162.html
